Top Qualicum Beach Waterfront Highlights & Attractions
As a community, Qualicum Beach is perhaps most well-known for its friendly neighbours, numerous events held throughout the year, and (of course) its beach. During low tide, you can walk quite a ways down on the sand, and the area is a particular favourite of those with kids and/or dogs.
While there are a selection of waterfront properties along the shoreline, there are also a few select shops and restaurants, too, for those strolling along the beach. Additionally, two bus lines run along the highway: the 98 weaves through Qualicum Beach, while the 99 takes passengers to and from Parksville. Other highlights of Qualicum Beach include Heritage Forest (a large, centrally-located park with forest trails), Milner Gardens & Woodland (the botanical gardens, owned by Vancouver Island University), the Qualicum Beach Museum (which provides an overview of local history), Pheasant Glen Golf Resort, and the Qualicum Beach Memorial Golf Course.
